Lightning was great and has maybe one advantage in being easier to insert. I’m sure Apple could’ve made a USB-C competitor, but that ship has sailed. USB-C is considered good enough, even for Apple to use on their laptops and iPads.

Ask the EU what are customers gonna do with all the lightning cables they current own now?
This is about looking forward. -

Let’s not forget this will help finally kill off USB-A and the ports-from-hell duo: mini and micro USB. It’s not just about Lightning. if it takes killing Lightning to get rid of those other two in particular it’s worth it. I can’t believe how many products are still made with those god-awful connectors.
